XRP News Today: Futures Hit New Highs and ETFs See Big Inflows

XRP, one of the most traded cryptocurrencies in the world, saw record bull run in the past few days. Community confidence has been on the rise since XRP broke free of a key resistance level and rallied past prices that were once deemed inaccessible to the asset.

With XRP showing such momentum after some key industry developments, it is vital that we look at the market perspective with more clarity and depth. In this article, we will be looking at what is new with XRP and how it has affected the asset’s performance in the past few days.

XRP Futures Hit New Highs

CME Group is one of the world’s leading derivatives providers. They reported on Monday that its futures and options suite hit a record of 794,903 on Friday, the 21st of November, 2025. According to Glassnode’s data, XRP has seen a 200% surge in futures volume. The open interest has also increased during this time. This is indicative of the larger number of long positions opened by traders.

Macro tailwinds, institutional interest, and other industry factors are causing a positive effect on confidence levels. With more long positions stationed for the time being, XRP is expected to climb further as risk appetite return to the market.

The notion that a Federal Reserve rate cut is also due has to do with the accelerated growth in risk appetite. With more investors piling into the market, XRP’s trading volume has also seen significant growth. This broke the previous notions that came up during a price crash, even after Canary Capital’s XRP ETF had been launched.

XRP Achieves Bull Flag Target

Earlier this week, the trader by the name @kriptocumm had made a bull flag pattern using technical analysis. It came as a great confidence booster when XRP was able to reach this exact price point, reinforcing the bullish trend signalled by the asset.

Traders all over the world were astonished by the accuracy of this technical analysis as inflows into XRP soared. On the 22nd of November, @kriptocumm had made a textbook example of a bull flag target. Support was noted.

The support was noted at $1.8810. There was also a breakout trigger above $1.92. The flagpole had an approximate height of $1.37, and he had expected the target price to be $2.1076. As trading volume climbed to 3.85 billion US dollars on November 24th, 2025, signals of strong market participation started to gain clarity. The price made a surge past the $2 mark, accelerating confidence and settled around $2.055. This was so close to the projected target that this technical analysis boosted investor confidence.

As of now, XRP’s trading volume stands at $2.24, reflecting steady market activity following yesterday’s surge.

The technical indicators were also leaning more towards the bullish side, with a value of 62 for RSI (Relative Strength Index). The upside momentum was also strengthened by the MACD signals that indicated a bullish crossover.

Institutional Demand Increases With XRP ETF Momentum

XRP’s surge was not without support as this week saw one of the strongest institutional inflows in XRP’s history. Franklin Templeton’s new spot XRP ETF launched on the NYSE saw good market participation with first-day trading volumes of up to 30 million US dollars.

Grayscale’s GXRP, the XRP Trust ETF, also came into the market with a 0% management fee to attract investors. Both these ETFs from Grayscale and Franklin Templeton debuted as XRP saw 179 million US dollars in weekly inflows.

This is an outlier performance when we compare it to the outflows recently recorded from Bitcoin and Ethereum. With the industry’s analysts viewing this as a capital rotation from traditional crypto assets like BTC and ETH to altcoins, clearer catalysts and improving fundamentals are reinforcing XRP’s dominance.

Final Thoughts

With technical strength, increasing activity in the futures market, and an accelerated institutional demand, XRP seems to be surging powerfully. In addition to this, keeping the price on par with technical indicators has boosted investor confidence and reintroduced risk appetite into the market.

With all of these new developments, XRP seems to be cementing its position as one of the standout performers in the present crypto market. If these trends are to continue, XRP may soon be able to hit higher highs and draw in more attention from institutional investors as well as global financial adoption alternatives.
